By 2010 all the girls in China will dress like Kate Moss

Retail in China: it's all about the volume. Sir Philip Green, the owner of Topshop is all too aware of the potential profit once he gets there. Just to make sure he gets as much volume as possible, the rumor is that he asked Kate Moss to bring the lines she "designed" to China and be the face of the Topshop launch there.
Kate's an international star, with girls everywhere clamoring to look just like her. Through her Topshop lines in the UK and US she made something like £3million. Experts predict it will be the same story in China, but the magnitude of what she could make is exponentially larger, estimated to be between £15 and £25 million!
That's a lot of skinny jeans and floppy hats. She might even be able to afford a bathing suit top, finally.
We have to wonder...isn't there a fashionable Chinese star, who could design a line for both here and China? Bai Ling is a bit outré, perhaps, but it's not like Kate is a model of sweetness and quiet good taste. And what about Zhang Ziyi who always looks stunning? If anything she's more waifish than Kate.
Not to take anything away from Kate, we know she needs the money. We're just thinking a little reciprocity might be interesting.
